Hello Montgomery Families,
It is officially planning time for the 2020-21 school year! I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. Please take a moment to fill out the Class Placement Form 2020-21. We want to know your thoughts and concerns about your child and this form allows us to keep all of the information organized. I am always happy to talk in person or on the phone but know I will also ask you to fill out the form! The form closes on March 23, 2020 at the end of the school day.
Best,
Dr. Debelak

Do you consider yourself a member of a diverse family?
If you do, we invite you to attend an event in the cafeteria at Montgomery Elementary School at 6pm on February 20, 2020. Our school community would like to know how we can better include and welcome families of different backgrounds. Your input is vital and we will end the evening by creating a plan together to make Montgomery a more welcoming school for all families. Please click here to RSVP so we can have enough refreshments!
